The station, and what usual means
The numbers come from NOAA’s daily record for the volunteer rain gauge 1.2 miles northwest of Franklin (gauge ID US1VAFRC004), 1 mile from the middle of Franklin City. It reported every one of the 285 days from Jan 1 to Oct 12. Rain here means everything the gauge caught: rain, and snow melted down to water. A trace counts as zero. It is read once a day, usually in the morning, and each reading is filed under the day it was read, so an evening storm can show up on the next day.
This gauge has no NOAA normal, so this page gives no usual year or percent for it.
Why this gauge: it is the only one inside Franklin City that reported at least 90% of the days in 2026. Your own rain gauge can read differently a few miles away.
